F45 Functional Training @ M City Ampang

Good day, mates! Is losing weight or get fitter one of your New Year's resolution? Well, it's time to stop wishing and start doing. Lack of time? Busy with work? No... You don't have to spend hours in the gym to get a complete and effective workout. Last weekend, we were privileged to be invited to F45's Ampang outlet member appreciation day where we are introduced to F45 Training concept and also trying out one of their classes with some of the members there and fellow media friends. If you haven't yet heard of F45 Training, where have you been? F45 is the fastest growing network of fitness franchise from Australia that mixes functional and high-intensity interval training(HIIT) into a short and sweet 45 minutes workout session.

Short but intense, each workout session is timed for 45 seconds with 15 seconds rest periods in-between. There are 27 different exercises to be performed according to the numbered workout stations, which ranges from chin-up, battle ropes, weighted squats, jumping lunges, pylo jumps, spiderman push-up and many more. The workouts are created by the F45 Athletics and Peak Performance Department from over 3,000 different exercises, thus you will never do the same workout twice and get bored easily.

The trainers will start with a demo in the beginning, but in case you can't catch up, there are exercise videos on the plasma screens with countdown timer displayed that you can check out.

Ready, set, go!
The blasting loud music power through our workouts while the trainers constantly check our form and push us through, to ensure us giving our workout 100% and get the best out of it. Trust me, the classes are so intense, you could easily burn between 700-1000 calories in just 45 minutes.

The combination of interval, cardiovascular and strength training has been proven to be the most effective way for burning fat, increasing endurance and building lean muscle. Honestly speaking, do you actually push yourself this hard when you are working out on your own? Hell no!!! Lol
Moreover, working out in groups help to boost motivation and make exercise more fun too!

You don't have to think of your exercise routine or worry about someone hogging the gym's equipment. The trainers are well-trained and incredibly knowledgeable. Lastly, nothing beats that satisfying sense of achievement after being able to complete two rounds of the circuits.

In the meantime, for those that need a bit more motivation, you may want to join the F45 challenge. Apart from exercising, the 8-week challenge provides you with daily meal plans, nutrition tips and how to stay motivated to helps you achieve results.
